Currently there is no documentation available for IntlTimeZone::parse(), so it took some while to figure out a working example:

<?php// Example for 32-bit PHP 7.0.30 with Intl version 1.1, ICU version 56.1// To get the offset of a date including daylight saving time, getRawOffset() is// not sufficient, getOffset() is needed. And a date is needed to take history// in to account.

/** * Function IntlTimeZone::getOffset() * @link http://icu-project.org/apiref/icu4c/classicu_1_1TimeZone.html#afcbc1c48bf0b453b0123c4cb75d20e96 * @param float $date * moment in time for which to return offsets, in units of milliseconds from * January 1, 1970 0:00 GMT, either GMT time or local wall time, depending on * `local'. * @param bool $local * if true, `date' is local wall time; otherwise it is in GMT time. * @param int &$rawOffset * output parameter to receive the raw offset, that is, the offset not * including DST adjustments * @param int &$dstOffset * output parameter to receive the DST offset, that is, the offset to be added * to `rawOffset' to obtain the total offset between local and GMT time. If * DST is not in effect, this value is zero; otherwise it is a positive value, * typically one hour. */
